Depending on how long the Los Angeles Unified School District teachers’ strike lasts, she may have to take more time off. But she’s willing to do it. “I feel that I have no choice,” said Sandoval as she juggled a UTLA protest sign in Spanish, a floral-printed umbrella and the hand of her poncho-clad first grader, Maya. “This is for the future of my children’s education.” At this LAUSD elementary school attended by many impoverished students, Sandoval is considered a privileged parent — one of the few who can miss a day’s work to keep a child at home or participate in the strike.
